Middle School (Grades 5 - 8)

Our admissions process begins by building a relationship with your family. Each step allows us to get to know your daughter and to better understand her readiness for our Middle School.

WISC-V Testing: The WISC-V is an individually administered assessment that measures the cognitive abilities of children. It is offered by a licensed psychologist at St. Catherine's or through a private source. If you choose to have your daughter tested at St. Catherine’s, someone from the admissions team will reach out after we receive your testing request form. 

Skills Assessment and Applicant Visit: As part of the application process, applicants are invited to join the Middle School for a Visit Day from 7:45 a.m.-noon (includes lunch). During this visit, your daughter will complete the Grade-Level Admissions Assessment. Visit Days are scheduled in January and February and on an as-needed basis thereafter.

We recommend completing all steps and forms by January 1 in order to meet the priority deadline to be considered for first-round decisions. After the deadline, we will process applications on a rolling basis as space allows.
